We will be holding networking events to connect students and industry leaders. We will also be working closely with other groups to facilitate courses such as SEO optimization, Speaker Events with industry leaders, and more!

Our end goal is to create in institute for Cal's Aspiring Entrepreneurs. It is a 2 part project. An "undergraduate" program for those who want to step their toes into entrepreneurship. The "graduate" program will be an accelerator incubator to help studens start, launch, and scale the projects within 2 months. More info to be announced.
